Download your copy now and get comfy because once you start reading you won’t be able to put it down. Author Interview: Why such a fascination with the dead and ghost stories? I grew up listening to ghost stories from my family. My granny’s property was next door to an old churchyard and you could see the headstones through the trees separating the two properties. She’d tell us about haints (spirits) that would wander over and mess with the knick-knacks she had. She also used to tell a story about my how my grandfather’s ghost would lay down on the bed next to her sometimes. Said the old iron bed would squeak. I still get chills when I think about it. You started out writing fantasy, why the switch to suspense? Funny you mention that. I actually started out writing scary stories. I wasn’t sure people would want to read them, so I wrote my second love, fantasy. About a year ago a friend of mine asked me whatever happened to those ghost stories you used to write. She told me I should start publishing them too, and so here we are. Why stories featuring a psychic who can see the dead? Well, like most of my characters, she just popped into my head one day and wouldn’t shut up. I thought it would be interesting to write about her life and about the South Carolina coast. I lived there for fourteen years and know the landscape really well. I also have family that’s a lot like hers – all up in your business but that loves you fiercely. Who would enjoy this novel? Anyone who loves a good scare, a little humor and a crazy southern family full of witches.Read Haunting Charlie for FREE with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

True Ghost Stories And Hauntings: Eerie True Paranormal Hauntings, Unexplained Phenomena And Disturbing True Ghost Stories (True Ghost Stories, Bizarre True Stories,)
Max Mason Hunter - 2015
Well, if you had to experience even one of the things that we discuss in this book, perhaps, you will change your mind on actually seeing ghosts. It may be hard to accept that the place we are living in is occupied by entities we cannot see. Many claim that if a place becomes abandoned for a long time, then ghosts may see it as a sign of welcome, and hence, they would reside in that area. However, there are various reasons as to why a place (or a person) is haunted - it could be memories, a refusal to cross over, deliberately communicating with the dead or perhaps, one is just gifted. Reading this book may make you more aware of your surroundings; who knows, perhaps one of these days, you’ll realize that a part of your life is also haunted...
